l...e"tun by Mi"b • .,] William •.
On January 15, Kazareth Col.
lege was honored by the coming
or Michael Williams to lecture in
the Academy Auditorium on "The
Intellectual Expression of Cathol­icism."
As editor of the splendid week­ly
The Commonweal and as au­thor
of that remarkable book,
"The High Romance," as well IlB
his more recent, "The Little Flow_
er of Carmel," as a contributor to
variouB TevieW5, and a former
member of the National Catholic
Wel!are Council, Mr. Williams is
well known in literary and jour­nalistic
circles. The privilege of
hearing this distinguished Cath­olic
layman was looked forward
to with eagerness, and realized
with a great deal of pleasure.
Mr. Williams' thesis, presented
with charm of manner and win­ning
sincerity, is one of deep in­terest
to us, viz.: that the Cath­olic
Church among our own peo­ple,
IlB well a~ among EUropeans,
is enjoying an epoch of resurg­ence.
a \'eritable resurrection of
intellectualism, motivated and di­rected
by the vital principles of
Christ's Church. -'
In closing, lfr. Williams cited Il
number of significant books, either
recently publi~hed or recently re­issued,
indiCllting the present-day
trend of thought in this move­ment,

it is probably needless to mention
the incidental interest " The

book that Michael WillillMS h85
won the unique position he occu­pica
to-day, that of lay lIpologist
in America for the contemplative
religious life.
We trust that Mr. Williams'
ftr!lt visit to Nazareth College will
not be his last.

THE GLEANER
AN EMPTY HOUSE.
Did you ever stop to look at an
empty housef
I don't mean one of those new
bungalows,
That line suburban· streets in stiff
unfriendly rows,
Nor a Boston flat with a rubber
doormat,
And "For Rent" slgruL hung under
your nose;
But a real homey house with paint
peeling off the clapboards,
And perhaps a pillar sagglng
'neath the porch's weight;
With an apple tree standing guard
near the back door,
And a shade tree on either side
the front gate.
The porch steps by children's
shoes all worn and scarred,
And from the woodshed Toof a
slide slants down the yard,
A window glass is broken, grau
is growing high,
The robin in the apple-tree calls
to his mate nesting high,
And the wind stops to tOBS a
golden curl,-then, off with
a plaintive sigh.
The old house stands there ne­glected
now,
Nor seems lonely albeit alone;
For memories fond, keep it com­pany,-
'Twas not only a house, bnt a
home.
You never saw such a house, you
UY.
There are few of them now, I
know,
But the one I've just been dream­ing
about
Was my home in the long, long
ago.

The second week of IIChool
opened with a very characteristic
freshmen subjugation program. It
was called "Initiation"-a time of
trial for freshmen and of hearty
appreciation and fun for sopho­mores.
Each day some new order
was issued to the freshmen and a
pennlty was threatened for dill­obedience.
INFORMAL RECEPTION
On October 29 the second
annual reception for the parents
and friends of the students was
held at Nazareth College. The
affair was very well attended, and
the short entertainment was ap­preciated
hy every member of the
audience.
The leading part of the one­act
play, "Her First AMignment,"
wa..s taken by Eliubeth Pritchard.
The supporting cast included
Mary Swan, Margery GlU"bus,
Irma Fagan, Marcella Reichen­berger,
Lois Foley, Iris Veith,
Marion Popp, Helen Ritz, and
Alary Connolly.
After the play, refreshmenta
were served. The !luccelll of the
affair, both in 1924 and 1925, and
the appreciation shown by all who
attended, have been factors in
establillhing the reception as an
annual function.
SLEICH RIDE
The Sophomores and Freshmen
of Nazareth College are planning
a sleighride for tbe evening of
January 21. The itinerary has
not been mapped out, as yet, but
the girls will meet in the College,
and sometime during the evening's
venture, will atop at Edna Bau­man's
home for refreshments. In
the name of Nazareth, we extend
a vote of thanks both to Edna and
to her Mother, for their kindness,
hoth on this occasion and on those
that have preceded.
P. S.- Girls! Trot out your

ACADEMY CORNER
What venerable sage first re­marked
that no news means good
news! If you shonld ask an
Academy student what no neWll
means in their case, the answer
would be an emphatic denial of
the old adage. For just at pres­ent
the whole sehool ill plunged
into the annual mid-year fever
of lut-minute cramming and
~everish aru::iety and fervent pray­mg.
The spell hu swept over every
home-room, and the studenta must
be forgiven--and yes, commended
-if during this time there are few
social or literary functions to re­port.
At a Tecent meeting of the
Med!liUE; Club in the Academy
AudItOrium, Reverend William
Byrne, the PTesident of Aquinu
Institute, gave a lecture on Janu_
ary 8. The lecture was very in­teresting~
and needlelLS to say
Father .HYJ"ne, who ia ever ~
welcome visitor at Nazareth, was
still more appreciated by those
who heard him speak.
When the new semester befin.s.
the graduating class will hail it
with joy, not only because of the
relief from the strain of examin­ations,
but also hecause it will
bring with it a whirl of clasa
activities which will not cealle un­til
June. In the next Iuue of
"The Gleaner," we hope to an­nounce
the name of the Senior
Play and the Editorial Staff of the
Senior Annual. It has been
rumored about that an exception_
airy interesting drama has been
~rec~d for presentation, and con­SIdering
the talent of this year's
Senior Class, friends of the
Academy fully expect that the
record made in dramatics by
Nazareth Studenta in previODl!
years will be upheld.

One golden afternoon in Octo­ber,

TO A CERTAIN FRESHMAN
It i~ an angry Sophomore,
And ~he stoppeth one of three;
"By thy ahort bobbed hair and

me!"
"The classroom doon< are OJl('n

And I mu~t enter in.
The girls are met, the "prof." ia

May'at hear the awful din."
She holds her with her brawny
hand,-
"There was a girl," quoth ahe,
"Hold off! unhand me raving
one!"
Eft~oon her hand dropt she,
The Freshman proud does fidget
sore
She cannot choose but hear:
And thuK ~pake on thnt frantic

With voice thnt rouscth fear.
"Why did'at not wear thy colored

And one uncla~ped galosh?
Thy basket and thy tinkling bell,
Thy green-decked locks, 0
Frosh?
"Where is thy pale and rougeleu

Thy humble, lIervile air?
And where th)' doll and baby

And marshmallows for thy hair?
"Wby cameat thou in yon front

When we the back assigned?
And ulled the steps, for UII were

Did'st think our laws to un·

The "prof" hath paced into the
room,
Red as a rose is he;
Nodding their heads before him
aits
The sleepy class "at sea."
Alone, alone, all, all alone,
Alone on a long glass porch,
And never a aoul took pity on
This Freshman in remorae.
Then once again, the pen-acarred
hand
Upon the freshman fell
She dragged her to back l'(!glons

And on her knees compelled-

On January 15, Kazareth Col.
lege was honored by the coming
or Michael Williams to lecture in
the Academy Auditorium on "The
Intellectual Expression of Cathol­icism."
As editor of the splendid week­ly
The Commonweal and as au­thor
of that remarkable book,
"The High Romance," as well IlB
his more recent, "The Little Flow_
er of Carmel," as a contributor to
variouB TevieW5, and a former
member of the National Catholic
Wel!are Council, Mr. Williams is
well known in literary and jour­nalistic
circles. The privilege of
hearing this distinguished Cath­olic
layman was looked forward
to with eagerness, and realized
with a great deal of pleasure.
Mr. Williams' thesis, presented
with charm of manner and win­ning
sincerity, is one of deep in­terest
to us, viz.: that the Cath­olic
Church among our own peo­ple,
IlB well a~ among EUropeans,
is enjoying an epoch of resurg­ence.
a \'eritable resurrection of
intellectualism, motivated and di­rected
by the vital principles of
Christ's Church. -'
In closing, lfr. Williams cited Il
number of significant books, either
recently publi~hed or recently re­issued,
indiCllting the present-day
trend of thought in this move­ment,

won the unique position he occu­pica
to-day, that of lay lIpologist
in America for the contemplative

We trust that Mr. Williams'

The annual Retreat held at
Golde .. Jubilee.
Sister l'.f. Marcella, principal
of Kazareth Academy and one of
the leaders in the educational
work of the city, celebrated her
Golden Jubilee this year. Novem­ber
the tenth, was marked by a
formal reception tendered to
Sister MlIrcella b}' the young
women of the College.
Most of the College girls pur­ned
their Academic education
under the direction of SiJter lItar­cella.
The occasion of her Golden
Jubilee offered an opportunity to
expreu to Sister Marcellll, their
deep lIppreciation of her personal
cnarllcter and her life work, and
their warm gratitude for good
things that have entered into their
livu through her magnificent serv­ice
in the caU5e or Catholic edu­cation.
